Step back into the late '70s with this authentic Providence Shooting Stars Basketball T-shirt, commemorating the short-lived but locally beloved minor league team that captured hearts across Rhode Island from 1977-1978.
Initially surging in popularity during their inaugural season when they made an unexpected playoff run, the Shooting Stars quickly became a regional phenomenon. Their merchandise flew off shelves as locals rallied behind the underdog team that brought excitement to the small New England community.
Despite their promising start, financial struggles and competition from the nearby Boston Celtics ultimately led to the team's premature demise after just two seasons. Now considered a collector's item among Rhode Island sports enthusiasts, this shirt honors a fleeting but cherished chapter in Providence's athletic history.
